Copyright hilarity for Bethie and lawyers

Summary: Chick finds a blog post she made reprinted word for word in a regional magazine with no credit. She emails the editor. Editor responds, asserting that, for one, everything on the internet is public domain so you can just reprint whatever and claim it as your own. Also, btw, your article sucks and I made it better so YOU should pay ME because now you can put it in your portfolio! You're welcome.
